"I See Fire" is a song composed by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. The song was written and recorded by Sheeran for the soundtrack of the 2013 film "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug". The song was released on November 5, 2013, as a digital download and was later included on the deluxe edition of Sheeran's second studio album, "x" (pronounced "multiply"). The song is a haunting ballad that captures the mood of the film's climactic scene, in which the dragon Smaug attacks the town of Lake-town. The song's lyrics describe the destruction and chaos caused by the dragon's rampage, as well as the bravery of the film's protagonist, Bilbo Baggins. "I See Fire" is composed of three distinct movements. The first movement features Sheeran's vocals accompanied by a simple acoustic guitar riff. The second movement introduces a driving drumbeat and a more complex guitar melody, building to a powerful crescendo. The final movement returns to the simplicity of the first, with Sheeran's vocals and guitar fading out slowly. The song's characteristics are typical of Sheeran's style, with its emphasis on acoustic guitar and heartfelt lyrics. However, the song also features a more cinematic quality, with its use of orchestral instruments and dramatic shifts in dynamics. Overall, "I See Fire" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the spirit of "The Hobbit" films. Its inclusion on Sheeran's album "x" has helped to introduce the song to a wider audience, cementing its place as one of the singer's most beloved tracks.
